Sam Jacks: The Gate Complex, Newgate Street, Newcastle


I would love to be able to rant about this bar, but the truth is I quite enjoyed myself there. If you’re on a Stag party (which I was) this is the ideal place to come.
When we arrived there was football on their many TV screens which we enjoyed watching. They had a reasonable selection of beer and a fairly wide variety of bottled beer which I stuck to. 
The highlight of the bar has to be the hot female dancers which the bar employs to dance next to the bar. Another novel attraction is the dentist chair. No they don’t fix your teeth for you! Instead they give you a ridiculous looking steaming shot in a test tube, which you drink as you sit in the dentist chair, and the bar’s fit dancers dance around you. Apparently it costs £5 for the dentist chair experience, although to be fair, last time I went to the actual dentist it cost me far more than that.  There is also a bucking bronco for more Stag/Hen night related hilarity.
Sure the music may not be to everyone’s taste (or anyone over 21 for that matter), and watch out for the guy in the bog who will try to fleece money off you for giving you a bit soap to wash your hands with and a paper towel. Some may even say this bar is tacky in the extreme – and they would be right. However, the bar provides entertainment, it is original, the bar staff and door staff are friendly, the alcohol isn’t overly expensive and therefore on a similar occasion I would certainly go back.

 
Certainly better than a trip to the real dentist!
